Deadline tracker
Enter your contract date and get every key deadline calculated automatically.
This is the centerpiece of staying under contract without losing your mind. Enter the date your contract was signed, and Home Buying Steps calculates your inspection deadline, loan commitment date, appraisal deadline, final walkthrough window, and closing date, all in one visual timeline, with reminders before each one arrives. Missing one of these dates can mean losing your earnest money or your financing, so this tool exists to make sure that never happens to you.
This step is general educational guidance, not legal, financial, or real estate advice — your contract terms, deadlines, and local requirements always take precedence, so confirm specifics with your licensed professionals. Read our full disclaimer.
